DE/NV/TX/WY Series LLC isolates each property or business in its own liability 'cell' with one state filing.
A Series LLC (available in DE, NV, TX, WY, IL, TN, and others) is a master LLC that can spawn unlimited internal 'series' — each with its own assets, members, and liability shield — under a single state filing and single federal EIN option (or separate EINs per series). Ideal for landlords: each property in its own series, a slip-and-fall on Property #3 can't touch Property #1. Cheaper than 10 separate LLCs. Weakness: untested in bankruptcy court in most states; some lenders/insurers don't recognize.
